Abstract:A high-precision attitude control satellite uses an angular momentum exchange device such as a flywheel or a control moment gyro as the actuator for attitude stability control. Once the accumulation of angular momentum exceeds the upper limit of the angular momentum exchange device, the satellite will lose its attitude control ability. Therefore, it is necessary to unload the angular momentum exchange device to ensure the attitude control ability of the satellite platform. The angular momentum accumulation of … Show more
